A challenge and a sketch
I’ve got 2 cards to share before I hop on the couch and watch 7th heaven!
This first card is for Jen’s sketch for you to try, usuing my unloved wendy papillion fairy and my beloved cosmo cricket “Honey Pie” paper from Jacksonbelle. I would link, but I believe she is out right now.
The next card is made for the Unity Stamp inspiration piece, this week we were to use the banner which has teal, caramel, circles and a flourish. At first I thought I would go with the colors, but I just wasn’t inspired. So then I found the circle and frame from my MM Audrey line and it just went together.
I used two kits on this, beautiful life and flirty flowers. Lots of distress inks and then my embellies from the Audrey noteworthy line from MM.
The weekend flew by waaaaaay tooo quickly. I have something that isn’t quite a card to show you tomorrow. It’s the result of some playing I did. See you tomorrow!

Last Friday AJ posted the inspiration piece on the Unity forums and it was just beautiful! I wanted to keep the feel of the room, the florals and colors, I also wanted to use my new ‘Beautiful Life’ set.
I used sky, river rock, antique linen and chocolate ink for all of the stamping to give a lot of layers and dimension. I was really fighting myself to not put a flower on it, or any other embellishments. I kept trying things out but took them off.
Tomorrow Sean and I will celebrate our 7 year anniversary and this is the card I am giving him. Which he said he will display it proudly at work, lol.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I’ll be back with a little something fun.
Filed under Im buggin, Unity Stamps | Comments (7)A flirty bracelet gift set
I wanted to share a bracelet gift set I made last week with you. The bracelet features elements from the ‘Flirty flowers’ set from Unity Stamps. I stamped the solo dotted flower on a metal base and adhered crystals and a pearl to the center. For the two smaller circles I stamped the flower image and punched out one of the flower tops, then adhered a resin top to it. Rhinestones in celery and clear are linked between the metal disks, and the finished size is just over 7 inches with a lobster claw clasp. I wanted to present the bracelet in a gift box that would be usable for the recipient. I think the box would be really pretty sitting on a table or a dresser.
And then the card is interactive and features a tilting watering can. As soon as I saw this set I wanted to make the watering can move so it could water the flowers.
The paper on the card and box are from the ‘Caliope’ Prima Paper collection, I LOOOOVE it! And I think I’m a bit addicted to the Prima papers….they are just fantabulous! Tomorrow is Jacksonbelle challenge Tuesday so be sure to stop by and see what we’ve got cooking!
Happy Monday!

Pretty little box
This is one of the items I have been working on this week, a pretty little box:
I used the ‘Tea time Patten” from Unity stamps in chocolate ink on aqua mist CS and covered chipboard. The base and lid are 5×7 and the sides are 2 1/2 tall. The lid has 3 layers of chocolate, aqua and chocolate taffeta ribbons, MAMBI rhinestones and pearls. I also stamped the background pattern in distress ink and aqua ink on the main panel before I stamped the quote. I wanted the inside to be finished looking so I covered the opposite sides with cream card stock.
This was just so fun to create, I LOVE that background stamp and quote. I hope you enjoyed the peek at some of what I’ve been doing this week. I have a lot more to share so I’ll be back soon!
